Jess Bishop Photography » Your Life as Art

This little guy has got the craziest personality. He’s also a little bully the older kids…he sticks up for himself and a little more. He can be a LITTLE TURD sometimes…and he can cuddle with the best of them. Love this guy.

I had an idea for the shoot but time interfered a little bit…sometimes I hate that time when it flies so fast but anywhoo here is a peak of my stink.

I don’t know maybe it’s just me but when I photograph my kids they barely look past me and “I say look at me” in my nicest voice of course and they always tell me “I am”
So, this is Isaac looking at me but not letting me see one of his eyes and looking away of course.

Home slice…I don’t know what this is but it’s kinda funny.

Last night she fell off the monkey bars and broke her arm. It took some courage to go to the hospital…but the fear subsided when she was given some treats and a puppy.

It was tough to watch them align the bones up for a better healing process. She was actually medically sleeping but she still moved as the were making the placement…she doesn’t even remember. The thought I did have was…how do those mothers do it when there children have cancer and are constantly in the hospital…I think of how BRAVE.

Here is my cute Elly

I actually sat down the other day and started to gather my files that I have not printed from about 4 years ago when I first got my DSLR. I went to blurb It’s a book site that will slurp your blog into a book…haven’t figured this part out yet. Last time I looked they could do typepad and of course I have blogger. If there is anyone out there that has some great suggestions on how to make books easy let me know. Anyways I wanna get updated on my scrap booking…and if you know me I used to be very up to date and now I’m 4 years behind. What was I thinking!!!

So the reason for this post is to show you some of my first real work with my Canon 20d and when I really started this profession out. Before that I shot with film for about 4 years…a slight transition to say the least…the learning curve was fast but now I needed to learn to use photoshop.

Here is little Isaac he was my easiest subject at the time.

I dropped my camera and broke my 50 mm 1.4 lense after these shots.

It’s finally time that I get to my blog. I have been enjoying the start of school. My kids were so excited for school to start they could not sleep that night…it was like Christmas!

K so I just love how every year you have one child that is a grump with their expressions which is always funny to me…but not to the parents. I know I’ve been on the other end a few too many times. In the past it was always Madelynn who did the grumpy and now she has passed it onto Jackson. Regardless of those expressions I did get some good stuff.

The requested shot from Dad. “Hurry get that shot she does that all the time.”

Kerstin I am getting close to your photos but had to show you one.

These are my neighbor’s and I new the session would be easy because they are so easy going and they love each other so much. I love watching James helping is sister and he does it just to help her…and I’m kicking myself for not getting the 2 of them together…I hate that I always go home thinking “Oh, I should have done that.” but it doesn’t matter when I was able to still get the family connection.

First off I am going to start with Mei (pronounce May). I knew she would ham it up because off her open personality. She will talk to anyone…and I’m sure that is a lot of work for mom.

Just a couple family shots because I liked to many of the individuals of the kids

…and now onto James…save the best for last.

Hurry these sessions will fill quickly.

I don’t post much of this one because he will not let me take photos of him. So we had the talk about how I will remember his milestones and the funny faces you had to make or the shoes you liked at the age of 10…or when you decide to get your hair cut short for convenience purposes. By having the talk he is now willing to let me take a shot or 2…it all depends on the day.

I was able to talk him into a shoot and I’m glad we did we had a blast. I love this boy he is so smart and so grown up and I love that he is a big brother he takes care of everyone.

I know that most of you may have seen this but I just had to put it on my blog. This so reminds of Scott and Alison

The mom of this little one was my sons teacher last year. I offered to give her a session because teachers work so hard for our kids. I always want to give back to them but just don’t know how so this was what I thought of. The session was suppose to be a newborn session but my grandfather died and the timing was off so we waited for the 6 month shots. I love this age. Isn’t he cute.
